abric 181 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Some FOX O&Os are starting to use that for their news promos
TheRolyPoly 2556 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Watching "Good Day Carolinas" and it seems like they changed the bug to "FOX 46"
TVNewsLover 785 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Some FOX O&Os are starting to use that for their news promos I think the previous poster is referring to the branding ("Fox 46" versus "My Fox Carolinas"), not the graphics.
rfnc07 0 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 WJZY officially made the jump to Fox 46 Charlotte this morning, renaming the morning show "Good Day Charlotte." This would have been the perfect opportunity to dump "Hey, Hey Carolinas" and go to the O&O music, but it now updated as "Hey, Hey Charlotte". :bang:
mike91 67 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe (hopefully) they will use the O&O music for the evening newscasts. They have also fallen of the MyFox website bandwagon and rebranded their website as fox46charlotte.com
tyrannical bastard 4018 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Calling everything "Fox 46" versus "Fox Carolinas" is a much better idea, considering they wrestled away the affiliation from "FOX Charlotte" and have "FOX Carolina" to the west in Greenville/Spartanburg. They should have done this from the get go.
NewsMaster 226 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe (hopefully) they will use the O&O music for the evening newscasts. They have also fallen of the MyFox website bandwagon and rebranded their website as fox46charlotte.com So that makes KSAZ, KTVU, KDFW and now WJZY with websites no longer using the MyFox template. And they had better use the O&O theme with the evening newscasts. That stupid country theme just doesn't work. Promos? Yes. Actual news music? No.
Nelson R. 569 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Their Twitter is now @fox46news. I had to refollow it for some reason. Kinda figured this was coming with the app changing over several weeks ago. I don't understand why they didn't get rid of that silly Hey, Hey song with the switch.
TheRolyPoly 2556 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Yet, they still have "FOX 46 Carolinas" on their website as the main logo header and for the "FOX 46 Carolinas Go" app.
mike91 67 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 10pm news is using the O&O music! I repeat, 10pm news is using the O&O music! Rewind to 06:13:00 for open http://www.fox46charlotte.com/category/275062/my-fox-carolinas-live
Nelson R. 569 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 10pm news is using the O&O music! I repeat, 10pm news is using the O&O music! Rewind to 06:13:00 for open http://www.fox46charlotte.com/category/275062/my-fox-carolinas-live Good. I turned on the replay of the start of the 10:00 news and didn't recognize the music.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 WJZY officially made the jump to Fox 46 Charlotte this morning, renaming the morning show "Good Day Charlotte." This would have been the perfect opportunity to dump "Hey, Hey Carolinas" and go to the O&O music, but it now updated as "Hey, Hey Charlotte". :bang: They are waiting, I think, until the new Stephen Arnold O&O package comes out.
ToriElectra 292 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 They're supposed to be a new FOX O&O music pack from SAM? Where'd you hear that?

ToriElectra 292 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 You mean, the guy himself? Do you work for him or something?
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 You mean, the guy himself? Do you work for him or something? Something... I did have a conversation with him. Long story, but this was something mentioned.
William1111 41 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 So that makes KSAZ, KTVU, KDFW and now WJZY with websites no longer using the MyFox template. No longer an O&O anymore, but WFXT is showing hints that they're moving away from the MyFoxBoston domain; all the emails mentioned on the newscast are @fox25.com, and reporters/other staff are using the fox25.com domain on their email addresses as well. Strangely enough though, Cox still hasn't taken control of that domain.

Strangely enough though, Cox still hasn't taken control of that domain. Should also be a matter of time before WFXT ditches the O&O look too. I think all the O&O will slowly move away from the MyFox branding, which is probably years overdue.
Samantha 2898 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Should also be a matter of time before WFXT ditches the O&O look too. I think all the O&O will slowly move away from the MyFox branding, which is probably years overdue. What I almost don't get is why KSAZ, which owns and once used the fox10.com domain, chose fox10phoenix.com for its brand. My only line of thinking that makes sense is that they wanted one name for all social media, and they need to distinguish themselves from WALA for some reason (or need to reflect where they are in their social profiles).
tyrannical bastard 4018 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I must say that their newscasts have improved tremendously over the last several months. I've watched the 6 and 10pm shows thus far. Getting the HELL out of that newsroom into a set-like setting has dramatically improved their presentation and pacing, and the product looks much more professional and less like a webcast gone awry. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/tv/media-scene-blog/article21389220.html Based on the last ratings, it appears to be working at 10pm, as they're gaining on WCCB (but still getting trounced by WSOC's WAXN show by a 3:1 margin). 6pm is going to be a tough battle against the more-established big 3....and unless WCCB starts imploding, mornings are going to be very tough seeing as everybody except WCNC is competing against them in some form on a local basis during that time period... And I didn't hear a single "Hey Hey Carolinas" until the morning show tease at the end of the show!

tyrannical bastard 4018 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 And the experiment is officially over. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/tv/media-scene-blog/article28009666.html It doesn't paint a rosy picture for their future given the immense competition and anemic ad rates as a result of their low ratings...
mardek1995 200 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 And the experiment is officially over. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/tv/media-scene-blog/article28009666.html It doesn't paint a rosy picture for their future given the immense competition and anemic ad rates as a result of their low ratings... Does this mean WJZY end up like WWJ right down to being the only other "big four" O&O that doesn't have a newscast?
